Sam decided he might add another section to his writing. He called it…..SAMPLE SLIDE
www.ks1resources.co.uk
This is what his finished writing looked like.
Sam checked that his writing made sense.
Did he need to change anything?
Would Dusty’s friends understand?
SAMPLE SLIDEwww.ks1resources.co.uk
Then the wizard proclaimed …..
You’ve written a non-chronological report
about giant pandas.
How very clever!
SAMPLE SLIDEwww.ks1resources.co.uk
Non-Chronological Reports have…..
• a heading (title)
• sub-headings
• paragraphs
SAMPLE SLIDE
www.ks1resources.co.uk
Sam was puzzled. What was the wizard talking about?
heading?sub-heading?paragraph?
SAMPLE SLIDEwww.ks1resources.co.uk
A heading says whatyour report is about.
It’s like a title.
Sub-headings are used to say what each section
of writing is about.
Paragraphs are the different sections of your writing.
The information in the paragraphs has to
match the sub-headings.
